Catch-Up

Generated 08:00 ET

Near-term market mechanics remain supportive: compressed $SPY volatility and persistent negative gamma are seen lifting the index into next week, with 7,900–8,000 the area in focus. The caveat is that unusually cheap short-dated volatility sits alongside firmer longer-dated demand ahead of Jackson Hole, leaving next week’s expiration as a potential release point for volatility.
